SEE PRICE

Tl With th -jrorkmerv frcwn various plajits in th reeton return! ng to work under, reductions ra.ngrinir from 10 t 40 par cent, there is a. nwticfahle dectin in the retail market prices of fuo4, clothlnsr And other neceoaitle of At Indiana Harbor grroceo' ftr chnt bg-a.n the narklnar down of all canned roods. Canned lonutMi. whlchforlylnally wert m:d for 15 cents, hare been reduced to 11 cents, the sa-me ran be ald of canned corn and various othr canned goods. At the present th-s nierr-hant-s of East Chi-i-ajo and Indiana Harbor have takrn no action relative to a reduction in the price of breJ. JOioug-h it is very true, that flour has taken a steady drop. Potatoes and other vegetables are about 15 per cent cheaper than what they were in 192". yet a furthcx reduction Is expedited in the very near future. In the finer quality of goods no reduction has been made, in fact in several ca. the prices have increased. This is more noticeable on such arttcles as canned peaches and plums. Clothing reductions range ifrom 10 to eO pr cenvt and :n several oases even tfightr. rHms.tic guods lis being marked at a 20 per cent reduction. One of the b'ggewt items in whioli there eeejrw to be no inclination for reduction la the matter of "rents.'' While It may be scknowledged that a shortage, of homes exis-L. thTe is a tendency amon the. landlords to increase rents, who claim that th new water r.tes force them to take thi ctand. However no xcu; can be found for increased rent in Kast Chlcag-o or Indiana Harbor. The water question, which of course Is very vital to landlords, would be no higher than ever if properly handled. Frm an' investigation by a reporter of The Time, made otj the assumption that water bills were higher, he ifound in numerous cases, that landlords are in a sense of the word very careless as to how this water is distributed. Out of 12 cases in vestisrated it was found that landlords have neglected the repairing of leaking plps. which mean a waste of many gallons of wa-tf-r a day. Faucets were found to be dripping, meaning the waste of many more gallons of water daily. Under the new meter system recently Installed, there is no question but what the water rates will be exceedingly high, if this wilful waste is permitted. In cats where the pipes and faucets were found to be O. K., figures on the meters, show that the landlords, will pay on the areriif ! about 89 cents a month. Ianldords receiving- bills higher than this amount should make investigation as to whether there are any leaky pipes on their premises. LABOR PARTY Mi NAVE A TICKET Interest was added to the coining Gary city campaign yesterday when the prominent Ciary leaders made the declaration that the labor party would place an entire city ticket In the field. Although the primaries are months euay, the polil aspect is already waxing warm and the campaign promise to be one of the warmest that has been seen in the city for a good many years. It is likely that at least three tickets will make up the ballot. A half a dozen or more candidates l.ave already officially announced their intention of running for the various city offices with others preparing to make their announcements within a short time. At present the office of city treasur- j er is being sought by three candidates j end all of them being strong candidates ! the race promises to be a hot one. Can- j dldates who have officially announced i for the office are John C. Perry, deputy city treasurer, Harry Stringfellow, Gary Iruffgist, who made a strong race apainst the present city treasurer. Win Hunter four years ago and Attorney II. C. Davis. Up until this time no official announce merits have ben made for the mayorship. It is understood' that Mayor "V. F. Hodges will seek re-election and will probably be opposed by R. O. Johnson, tornier cx-mayor of the city. While leaders of the party are not rrady to disclose the personll of the wwpPT'fWP (prowl 1 wf WW w.St "iipw

LABOR BOARD TO DECIDE ON CUT BV W, H. ATKINS STAFF CORrSPON0ENT I. N. SFSVICI1 W AQUINO TON. Jan. 26. Railroad labor today faced the possible loa of some of th5 biggest concessions gained from the carriers in a quarter century. The challonf,- wu given by the rail executives that the workers must surrender advantages covered by the so-called "national agreements" made during tho war. prcements now und r attac. in conferences with the railroad labor board, were sanctioned by th rallro-ad administration. But the rail executives, almost yeirr after return of the the ro4ds to private control, today plac;1 tlivmsc! ves solidly on record as opposed to continuing them SJid the assertion was made that they must ga the way cf other war measures. Concerted movps by the rail executives to alKli.h or at least radically modify the existing agreements, on the score that the reesons for which they were promulgated no longeT exist, come at a time when the railroads are united In a ration-wide effort to r due operating forces. SCHOOL SUPPER The "West Hammond Parent-Tescher association will hold their regular meetinar in the Wentworth building, Thursday evening, Jan. 17 St :S0.
